Radiochemical techniques were used to determine partial or complete excitation functions to 15 Mev for the reactions Ar/sup 40/ (d, alpha ) Cl/sup 38/, Zn/sup 66/ (d, alpha )Cu/sup 64/(d, alpha ,n)Cu/sup 61/, Zn/sup 67/(d, alpha n)Cu/sup 64/, ults were compared with the predictions of the statistical model of nuclear reactions. Most features of the (d, alpha ) and (d, alpha n) excitation functions measured are consistent with the predictions of the model. The Zn/sup 67/(d,2p)Cu/sup 67/ reaction appears to take place essentially by a direct process, while the ection, agrees with the model. Support is found for a rather large value of the nuclear radius parameter, r/sub o/ = 1.7 F. Excitation functions are presented for the reactions /sup 65/, Zn/sup 66/(d,n)Ga/sup 67/, and Zn/sup 66/(d 2n)Ga/sup 66/. Thick-target yields from deuteron bombardment of metallic zinc are given for Cu/sup 61/, Cu/sup 64/, Cu/sup 67/, Zn/sup 65/, Ga/ sup 66/, and Ga/sup 67/. (auth)
